In my small town in Nebraska, our mall has less than 10 stores. Growing up, I was limited on fashion unless I wanted to drive into Omaha. My favorite place to shop was The Buckle. Recently, my best friend has been wearing a ton of cute tops and she keeps saying she got them at her “usual store”, The Buckle! Wondering what the recent fuss was about, I decided to stop into the Village Pointe store nearest me and browse. Friends, I walked out with three cute tops and a pair of perfect denim! Bringing back one of my high school favorites was a win.

Buckle used to be known for burn-outs, blingy jeans and Sanuk sandals (in my book). Now, I found a lot of well-made tops with unique details, a variety of PLAIN dark jeans at great prices – seriously, the dark jeans I’m wearing are under $50 – and a ton of basics like tanks and chokers you can pair with anything!

If you’re on the hunt for something casual to wear this weekend or for V-Day tomorrow, think dark denim and flowy tops.

What are your Valentine’s plans? Some of my girlfriends and I are planning on seeing A Dog’s Purpose and I’m hoping I don’t need too many tissues!
